About

Squeeze

Features
Read full description

Squeeze compresses the videos on your iPhone, iPad and Mac so they take a fraction of the space, and it never uploads them anywhere. Pick a video from your library or a file, choose how small you want it, and see the predicted size before you start. The original stays untouched until you decide otherwise. SEE WHAT YOU'LL SAVE BEFORE YOU START • Scan your photo library and sort videos by size • Filter by 4K, 1080p, screen recordings or anything over 50 MB • A size prediction that updates as you adjust the settings YOU'RE IN CONTROL • Quality slider from smallest file to best picture • Resolution: original, 1080p, 720p or 480p, never upscaled • HEVC (H.265) for the smallest files or H.264 for maximum compatibility • Frame rate cap and an option to drop the audio track SAFE BY DESIGN • Preview the compressed copy next to the original • Save back to Photos, or export to Files • Remove the original only after the compressed copy has been saved, and only if you ask • Everything happens on device. Your videos are never uploaded. TRACK THE SPACE YOU'VE FREED • A running total of the space you've reclaimed • Recent compressions with before-and-after sizes ONE APP FOR iPHONE, iPAD AND MAC • A native Mac app with a sortable table, drag-and-drop import and ⌘, settings • One purchase covers every device signed in to your Apple Account FREE AND PRO Free lets you compress up to 3 videos a day, one at a time, with every setting available. Squeeze Pro removes the daily cap and adds batch compression, so you can clean up a whole album in one go. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
